Executive Summary
Net zero and sustainability executives face multiple obstacles when implementing a decarbonization strategy, from creating a large repository of carbon data sourced across the organization to facing uncertainties around their net zero targets. As software vendors and consultancies incorporate AI into their products and offerings to provide solutions to common decarbonization challenges, they should carefully consider their positioning in the market, as well as unexplored opportunities for the application of AI to decarbonization use cases. Potential – and existing – applications span carbon data anomalies detection, carbon calculations facilitation, emissions forecasting, supply chain emissions hotspot identification, and methane leaks detection and prevention.AI lends itself to large emissions data sets and forward-looking analysis
